Wisconsin football has been known for a few key positions throughout the past few decades, but arguably none more than the offensive line. The Badgers have been one of the nation’s top offensive line schools since the Barry Alvarez era, and has produced a number of fantastic pros at the position.
The Badgers recently posted numbers that show just how much of an offensive line factory UW is. Since 1993, the Badgers have had 30 offensive lineman drafted, which is tied for first overall in the Big Ten during that time period. Of those picks, seven went in the first round while 20 of the 30 went in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.
